Sura 33 Al-Ahzab (Those who took up arms), ayah 37

  1. وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِي أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْشَاهُ ۖ فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ زَيْدٌ مِنْهَا وَطَرًا زَوَّجْنَاكَهَا لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَرَجٌ فِي أَزْوَاجِ أَدْعِيَائِهِمْ إِذَا قَضَوْا مِنْهُنَّ وَطَرًا ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ مَفْعُولًا

    Translation by words

    وَإِذْ
    And when
    تَقُولُ
    you said
    لِلَّذِىٓ
    to the one,
    أَنْعَمَ
    Allah bestowed favor
    ٱللَّهُ
    Allah bestowed favor
    عَلَيْهِ
    on him
    وَأَنْعَمْتَ
    and you bestowed favor
    عَلَيْهِ
    on him,
    أَمْسِكْ
    "Keep
    عَلَيْكَ
    to yourself
    زَوْجَكَ
    your wife
    وَٱتَّقِ
    and fear
    ٱللَّهَ
    Allah."
    وَتُخْفِى
    But you concealed
    فِى
    within
    نَفْسِكَ
    yourself
    مَا
    what
    ٱللَّهُ
    Allah
    مُبْدِيهِ
    (was to) disclose.
    وَتَخْشَى
    And you fear
    ٱلنَّاسَ
    the people,
    وَٱللَّهُ
    while Allah
    أَحَقُّ
    has more right
    أَن
    that
    تَخْشَىٰهُ
    you (should) fear Him.
    فَلَمَّا
    So when
    قَضَىٰ
    ended
    زَيْدٌ
    Zaid
    مِّنْهَا
    from her
    وَطَرًا
    necessary (formalities),
    زَوَّجْنَٰكَهَا
    We married her to you
    لِكَىْ
    so that
    لَا
    not
    يَكُونَ
    there be
    عَلَى
    on
    ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
    the believers
    حَرَجٌ
    any discomfort
    فِىٓ
    concerning
    أَزْوَٰجِ
    the wives
    أَدْعِيَآئِهِمْ
    (of) their adopted sons
    إِذَا
    when
    قَضَوْا۟
    they have ended
    مِنْهُنَّ
    from them
    وَطَرًا
    necessary (formalities).
    وَكَانَ
    And is
    أَمْرُ
    (the) Command
    ٱللَّهِ
    (of) Allah
    مَفْعُولًا
    accomplished.

    And (remember, O Muhammad), when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, "Keep your wife and fear Allah," while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him. So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort concerning the wives of their adopted sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command of Allah accomplished.
